It was the via Appia, Appian Way. Originally it went from Rome to Capua, just north of Naples. It was extended to Venusia (present day Venosa) a city in northern Apulia (the toe of Italy) which was an ally of Rome in the 290s BC, during the Third Samnite War (298-290 BC). Later it was extended to the port of Brundisium (Brindisi) in southern in Apulia, on its eastern coast, passing via Tarentum (Taranto) another port and at the time the largest city in southern Italy. Emperor Trajan built the via Traiana in 109 AD. This was an extension of the Appian Way which reached Brundisium from Beneventum (Benevento) by a shorter route via the east coast of Apulia, rather than via Tarentum, which was on its western coast.
The Appian Way was the first stone-paved road the Romans built. It was commissioned by Appius Claudius and it was completed in 312 BC as a military road and it served to speed up the movement of Roman troops to the front of the Second Samnite War (326-304 BC). Large sections which stretch for miles still exist.
